My first Elder Scrolls game is Oblivion. When I turned 14 years old in late 2008, I received a ps3 and went to Best Buy to choose my first PS3(and my first seventh generation of consoles game). Before I went to Best Buy, I spent plenty of time looking up PS3 games and I couldn't find many RPGs(which I almost exclusively play). None of the those few RPGs looked promising except for Oblivion. I found Oblivion and looked at every review(both written and video) about it. I decided to get Oblivion. On my birthday, when I went to Best Buy, I started looking for copies of Oblivion. I found several copies and I received one as a birthday gift. Two months of my life disappeared as all my free time was put into Oblivion. I still play it now, but not during all my free time as I used to. After I received Oblivion, I started playing the older Elder Scrolls games.
My story is similar to this one.
October 2008, just before Halloween. I was bored or something, trying to decide if it was worth buying a PS3 yet.
SO I went to www.gamerevolution.com and started reading the reviews on various games on the PS3. I literally started with the A section. Nothing. I'm not sure if Assassin's creed was out yet, or if I knew what it was about. Anyways, I breezed thru the As. Moved to the Bs...nothing really interesting.There weren't very many PS3 game reviews to read back then.
C...D..E....F...G....H...I....J.....K....L...M...O...P..Q...R...S...T
T. there was an RPG in the T section, rated A+ by the reviwer. Hmmm....
Anyways, I read this review:

Afterward, I couldn't get to the store fast enough!I've been waiting for an RPG this good for a long, long time. 450 gone in less than 40 minutes!
I was just amazed by the eye-candy in this game. I literally just walked around looking at stuff. I wa in LOVE with this game. Combat was really icing on the cake.
